Saying goodbye to an old life...

What a way to start the day.

Terry is heading down a dangerous path. Lawrence makes a decision to help his friend at any cost. His idea is brilliant, but he forgets one thing: nothing ever goes according to plan.

My second story, it is about a High School graduate and his group of friends. It is likely another roughly written story, I was most definitely still trying out the whole writing thing when I wrote it. So I know some things may be unclear or confusing. But, like I said, early work. So I hope at least some people can enjoy it. First posted in 2003/2004, I was in High School at the time.

Jonathan Hamilton transfers to Sunny Hill starting junior year to run away from his past and keep promises on which to build an uneventful, safe future. The biggest promise he makes to himself is to stay clear forever, by all means necessary, of straight bad boys and their unhealthy appeal.

But promises are only made to be broken, Jonathan discovers the truth of the old adage, as junior year barely starts, and he has a run-in with the ridiculously attractive Maddox Kingsley, the resident BMOC, and carrier of the frightful nickname of ‘Mad Dawg’. (Full description inside.)

Where am I?
What’s happening?
I can hear screams... his screams!
What are they doing to him... to my love?
I can’t move. Stop it you bastards! I need to stop them! But I’m too weak, now. When they’re finished with him, they will come for me, that’s for sure.
I should have known! Weeks ago. The signs for their betrayal were there.

Two boys awake to find themselves sans memories, must rediscover their past, and decide if they will forge a new future together.

Meeting on the driving range Jim and Adam become fast friends
